Nad M3? Need amp for Vandersteen 3 $3,000 budget

Mc Cormack or Audio Research, they both do magic.

I use and ARC 300.2 and it sounds wonderful.

I used to have the Vandersteen 3A's. I used 4 monoblocks to drive them. Two per speaker, one for lows one for highs. The ones I used were the SM-70. It was most amazing sound to me.

You should be able to get 4 of them for $3K. They sell direct: www.monarchyaudio.com. Email them and they will offer you lower than list price.

McIntosh or Audio Research for me.

Asmazda...You USED to have? If the sound was so amazing why don't you have them any more....I recommend Ayre as does the above poster.
